Product Highlight: Samshield Race Helmet

The Shadow Race has been designed to meet the technical requirements of extreme disciplines which are cross-country and racing in terms of safety and performance. 

Technical Aspects:

• Outer shell made of polycarbonate (material used for high-end motorcycle helmets)

• Inner shell made of polystyrene with variable density providing a better dissipation of the energy produced upon impact

• Shape memory liner ensuring a constant thickness over the years of use and the semi-rigid jugular canceling all risks of tipping the helmet in case of a violent movement

• Short visor improving the field of vision

• Short cut chin strap on the back of the head avoiding any rotation of the helmet in search of speed position

• Fresh air channeled from the front entrance to the back extractors, generating a strong internal airflow

• Inner shell designed according to a thorough anthropomorphic study generating an unmatched comfort

Safety

•The Shadow Race meets the requirements of the new CE EN1384:2017 standard.

Colors & Options

•The Shadow Race is customizable.

• All the options available on the Shadowmatt are available on this helmet.

•Four available colors of shell: Matt black, matt blue, metallic black, metallic blue
